you might cut an apple tree down to get your Ring doorbell more functional, because your hardwired VSS is lame?

Thanks for the info, really helps me to make my decision. Good job.

I have the same model and same thing happens to me. I think this is BULLSHIT!!!! He’s right, it’s a damn doorbell! Uasally screwed and hardwired to a door or a wall. To be undoing it to keep it warm so that it works properly is BULLSHIT! NEST is looking better to me everyday. Ring should be ashamed

I just got a 2nd Gen Ring doorbell for Christmas 2023. I fully charged it and hard wired it into the home doorbell wiring. My batter lasted for all of 9 days. To recharge it I had to de-wire if from the house, a huge PITA. Who wants to uninstall and reinstall the ring to the wiring every week or so? I've bought a real doorbell again and try a solar frame as a Ring charger. At least it'll be easier to remove the Ring Doorbell for a battery change. It that doesn't work I'll bin it. This Ring doorbell was a gift. Were I to buy another (doubtful) the way to go would be to buy the newer Ring Doorbells with the removable battery packs, plus an extry battery pack. That way a battery change would be a 3 minute effort.

We ended up exchanging this model for the slimmer version ua-cam.com/users/postUgkx0jZ_lGlDVJhDnmagEU8gn47cmfPNlLQU because it was too wide for the only door trim area that made sense to mount it on. However, we should have just noted the dimensions prior to purchasing. Otherwise, we love the doorbell. It works perfectly, and the video is very clear, even at night.

Know what you mean &talking about i had mines since 2017 and 2weeks ago it wouldn't stay charge the other 2 front &back is great so I charge it up again so I stuck it back outside so far its holding strong but I do have other doorbells so ill see what it does

ABSOLUTELY True mines lasted for 1 months

What about charging on rainy days ? If you bring the front plate indoors to charge the battery, will the rain hurt the exposed circuitry on the plate that remains on the outdoor wall ?

Got a ring, got rubbish.

What a waste of time this video is, need to know how to install NEW BATTERYS.

Mine is like 2 months at most, with everything switched off (no motion at all) except the ring alerts of course.

Ring design team need to redesign device so that it works well even in the winter

I bouth a new battery and charge it is worth but in 3weeks I have too charge againg any sugestion it's conect to a hard wire

My Ring doorbell is 18 months old and the battery charge STARTED at 2 months before needing a charge and deteriorated from there. NOW it lasts 7-10 days. THAT'S the reality folks. Ring's battery life claims are grossly exaggerated.

This guy got a great voice! I’d love to hear him reading Audiobooks

Ours does great ! Love it !

I chose the wired version to avoid battery issues. My old doorbell worked for 60+ years without maintenance and I did not want a Doorbell that needed maintenance like monthly battery charging and battery replacement every two years. I had a burglary and decided to add a doorbell with video recording. Looking at the options, the battery versions seemed easy to install, but had battery maintenance issues. Don't need that. I love the video and audio quality of the Ring PRO 2, and use it with an Echo Show to interact with visitors at the door. I also added a hidden Wyze Cam 3 in case the burglar blocks or steals my doorbell. Call me paranoid, but when you are in bed and there are burglars with flashlights in your hall at 3AM as I had, you take corrective action. When the police came, they asked if I had a camera or video doorbell, because that is what solves many burglaries now. Honestly I think a Ring Doorbell or Cam is a deterrent, and I would rather deter than fight off a burglar. Either type, battery or wired, will save your kyster.

I prefer the traditional type better. We have one installed in our house. It's plugged into the mains, and a small 8v supply is provided to the button outside. When the button is pushed, it makes an electrical circuit causing the bell to ding-dong. It even has a small incandescent lamp in the button which illuminates the button at all times.

Have generation 3 ring door bell with chime, will only last 3-5 days from 1st installing… with our normal motions being around 12-14 a day so max is around 70 motions before battery is dead. Installed a transformer for trickle charge and is just as bad. Setting have been changed to lowest for motions - people only. It will only pick up anyone that come down the drive so it doesn’t pick up people who walk past the edge of our drive. Spoke to ring and they said adjust settings (motion alerts etc) and check after 7 days to see if the battery is any better. Live in the UK (east)temperature is good south facing so sun hits the doorbell all afternoon. Probably will change from Ring doorbell

Recommend an alternative?

So Criminals will watch your house and when you pull doorbell down to charge it that's when they pounce🤦🏽‍♀️

if you dont have hardwired or a doorbell cant you just plug up a low voltage unusable adapter and connect it to the doorbell?

5-6 events per day

Door bell worked great for two years. Hardwired. two months ago it would not go live (low battery) I charged battery and worked (live view occasionally) for 1 month. repeated procedure. why after two years do I have a problem ?

750 events? Just me leaving and coming back from work is 700 events alone 🤦🏻‍♂️ just got one and been 2 weeks and its been getting negatives out, charging again as i type this 😂

PRAISE GOD & GOOD EVENING 🙏🏽➕🙏🏽. I DON'T WANT TO TALK ABOUT YOUR RING DOORBELL BUT I KNEW THERE WERE MAJOR PROBLEMS WITH THAT RING THANG. THANK YOU FOR SAVING ME MONEY. I WILL NOT BUY THAT GARBAGE AND I THANK YOU SO VERY MUCH. ALL THOSE VIDEOS I WATCHED AND WHEN THEY GET TO THE BATTERY INFO ITS A SMEAR CAMPAIGN WITH HIS RING T-SHIRT ON AND OTHERS VERBALIZE THE SAME BATTERY SMEAR CAMPAIGN. NOT YOU! YOU ARE AN HONEST GOD FEARING CHRISTIAN, CONSIDERATE AND EVERYTHING. JUST THINK YOU HAD TO HOLD RING IN A HALF NELSON TO PRY THE TRUTH OUT OF THEM.... THOSE MONEY HUNGER GRUBBING SOUL SELLING FOLKS ALL WIRED IN DECEPTION, NOW THAT BATTERY IS WORKING IN ALL TEMPERATURES. BUT I DIGRESS. WELL MAY GOD BLESS YOU AND THE FAMILY RICHLY DAILY IN JESUS NAME AMEN. AGAIN THANK YOU. AFTER A FEW YEARS OF OFF & ON RESEARCH TODAY I FOUND THE TRUTH IN YOU, AMEN! 🙏🏽♥️🙏🏽

I just returned it to best buy today as the battery drying rapidly and i just bought it three days ago!

I have it for 4 months and it won't turn on at all

a) you gotta hardwire it (i ran power over cat5) b) yes -20c it will cease to operate as the battery juices stop c) my 1st gen lasted 18 years d) i just replaced my batteries using oem and some diy (video post coming to my channel)

My drain fast like 1-2 months.doorbell 3

Typical behavior of a company under the influence of a foreign power. Certainly not what I expect from a American company

If there an update?

This was awesome thank you

I have the same doorbell, and the battery life sucks. I have called several time about this issue and no one explained it the way you did. I have had the doorbell less than a year and this will be the 3rd time charging the battery. Who knew that with a hard wired doorbell you would have to continually charge the battery. Thanks for the video...looking for a new doorbell.

If I had known that Ring was a Amazon product I would not have bought it and saved myself some trouble.

The ring is a bad product. You have to pay to have access to most of it's features and my battery barely lasts 2 months

Thanks for your review I will not buy this product because I lived in the Midwest temp drop in-15 degrees

A very very Bad device, a door bell for $100 - $200 !!! Ring Sucks

Bro I just got one and now I want to return it. Why would ring put out a device out with such big battery problem? These are ppl with degrees and yet they failed at having common sense.😡

Same problem

16 days mine lasted

Had Ring Doorbell 2 for 18 months hardwired. Full power until last month when I received a warning that it was 5% power! Charged it but it was losing 10% a day. Bought a new one for £20, ($30) lost a bit of power so reversed wire contacts as recommended and now it is charging the battery again. Old battery obviously at end of life.

does ring doorbell record when the battery is dead ??

Sounds like the Ring doorbell is a pile of faeces.

-3 here today -22 windchill My ring is going strong! Just have to charge it about twice during winter. I’m sorry you don’t like yours that well.

I was contemplating just buying an extra set for my doorbell and garage camera so I always have a fully charged battery ready to go......but they aren't cheap. Especially for something that only works half the time. I had food delivered yesterday... Never got a motion notification from my driveway camera or my front door camera... But a palm frawn sets it off. Kinda dumb IMO

So you're only allowed to have 4 events a day over 6 months... Lmfao.... And bugs or palm frawns even set mine off....at least I'm assuming it's bugs, because there's nothing there when I get a motion alert

Thanks for creating and posting this video - succinct and to the point. Thumbs up from me!

It so true I'm having problems right now with it staying charged its hardwired and the battery still goes dead I live in Michigan it's a pos

Purchased mine Oct 2020. Hardwired it and thought i would never have a battery issue. Jan 22 2021 battery level dropped to 2% and stopped recording video. Found out, just as this video explains, hardwiring only trickle charges the battery - which is what the unit actually runs off of- and in cold weather battery will not take the charge going to it. Now i have to un-mount the unit from the wall AND disconnect the hardwired power source from unit bring inside to warm up and to charge. Then reverse all steps to reinstall. ALL IN THE COLD WEATHER WHILE TRYING NOT TO LOOSE THE RETAINING SCREWS. Found out the only Ring doorbell that ACTUALLY runs of hardwired power supply is the PRO version. I'm very dissatisfied and feel i was tricked or mislead by Ring!
